Sitting on Both Sides of an IEP Table

I am an adapted physical education teacher and the parent of a son diagnosed with bipolar disorder and ADHD. My experience as a parent made me realize how much I did not know when I attended IEP meetings in my role as APE teacher: the responsibility as a team member; applicable laws; as well as the challenges parents have not only with their child but the district as well.

Read More


The information shared in this webinar will help you become more helpful in an IEP meeting, become a better advocate for the student, and have a clearer understanding of students with emotional disorders — the “invisible disabilities.”

Disabilities, Play, and Possibilities

The Americans with Disabilities Act (1990) is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life.

Read More


However, this law is not always being followed due to current practices and financial burdens of schools. The law may exist, but the opportunities are often not there. The purpose of this presentation is twofold: to educate professionals on the importance of play for those with disabilities and to provide skills and strategies for inclusive behavior. The session will include four different interactive examples of improving the use of inclusion strategies.

Presenter: Aubrey Hope Shaw, Student Center for Ethics, University of Idaho; Sharon Kay Stoll, Professor and Director of Center for Ethics, University of Idaho
